New Addition

No one was more disappointed by Carol McDaniel’s doctor prescribed bed rest more than her daughter, Mary McDaniel. She understood that her mother was consider old and her pregnancy was high risk. She just missed the time that they spent together. Her father, Michael, was busy driving back and forth to the hospital or working on the farm and so they did not get to see each other often.

Carol was disappointed too and a little angry also. She had argued with the hospital staff almost everyday about leaving the hospital to celebrate Mary’s birthday, only for the day. And when they finally relented it was too late. When Carol got home Mary had already blow out of the candles and entered adulthood. Mary tried to tell her mother she understood but Carol could see how hurt Mary really was.

Mary: We named him Charles, doesn’t that sound Princely. Charles McDaniel.

Peggy: That’s a lovely name

Peggy Crabtree had stopped by the McDaniel’s Family Farm under the pretense of buying for veggies for dinner. Really her mother wanted her to check if Carol had the baby yet and if all was well. It seemed like a nice honest gesture of concern by Peggy wasn’t the least bit fooled. She thought her mother wanted to hear some gossip, maybe Jennifer was wondering if the kid was missing an arm or something.

Mary was not the only one excited about baby Charles. Carol and Michael could not help looking at him in wonder. The long wait was well worth it.

It took forever to get her pregnant. And every time she did she would have a miscarriage no matter how green her bar was. I finally had to give them fertility treatments using Inteen. I am also happy they had a boy, I wanted the name to pass down. I already have to find interesting ways to pass down the Crabtree, Flores, and Duffy family name.
